Chelsea not in for Moutinho

Andre Villas-Boas has ruled out a move for Joao Moutinho, insisting that Chelsea are already well accommodated in the midfield area that he plays.

Villas-Boas quipped: “Joao Moutinho is, without doubt, a super footballer, but we are very competitive in that area.

“The injury to [Michael] Essien has changed my plans, but with Oriol Romeu [who's been signed from Barcelona] we have a player who can increase our level.

“At this moment, I don’t need to think about more reinforcements. That will only happen now if we suffer any more setbacks which, of course, I don’t desire.”
